Default Leveling kit question

Just bought a new 2016 xlt crewcab 4x2. I want to level the truck but am not sure if it is worth it to go new shocks all around like bilsteins or just get a cheap block leveling kit. I am not going to do any off-roading but will do a little towing from time to time. Nothing major. What are the pros and cons of each and will the blocks really change the way the truck handles. I guess what I am trying to figure out is if it is worth it to go shocks to level even though I am not really going to be putting my truck through the works ever. Any advise is appreciated.

I would suggest for a cheap option going with a AutoSpring leveling kit. For a other option which is much more expensive I would go with Boss Adjustable Coilovers they will give you the height your over and ride much better than stock.

I just put a 1 1/2 inch Autospring leveling kit on mine. Looks much better and didn't
change the ride quality as far as I can tell. $270 including installation.

Will the 1.5 kit still have plenty of room for 33" tires?

I'm running the AutoSpring 1.5" kit on my 4WD truck with 285/70R17 KO2's (33") and don't get any rubbing or noticeable loss in ride quality.
